How to compare 2 XML files

[Xavier]

Hi,

I have a soft generating report in XML files. I am searching a soft or
simple Java code to compare 2 XML files, generating report only with the
differences, conserving the XML tree of data.

Any idea ?

Thanks,

Xavier

parse the two trees. Then a simple minded compare would recursively
sort the nodes at each level, the look for dups, and whatever was not
a dup it would report on. Then it would process the subtrees of each
of the dups recursively.

Look up xmlunit for java.
There was also a C# solution whose name escapes me that worked pretty well.
